The pairings for the semifinals were decided at the top of the show.
YAMATO was pleased with the results. After all, Fujii Heya was just a comedy team. An easy path to the finals. They claim to be famed sumos but the truth is Fujii only achieved the lowest rank during his sumo days. As for Saito, whatever. Their silly games will be brought to an end by the greatest team in the world, the Twin Gate champions.
Saito thanked the fans for cheering Fujii Heya into the semis. They would use that support to win today and advance to the senshuuraku (the closing day of sumo festivities). Dosukoi!
Kness was short and to the point. They were going to beat anyone. Tozawa & Yoshino were no different.
Tozawa lamented his lack of enthusiasm. Whatever. The famous K-NeSuka with their brotherly bonds. Their run was over.

Kanda hit by Tanizaki by accident twice. He had Flamita pinned with the Diving Elbow Drop but Tanizaki broke it up, insisting he be the one to score the fall. Kanda then intentionally gave him a face buster which lead to his loss.

VerserK attacked Eita after his match. Kotoka was exceedingly upset that Eita didn’t follow his instructions. After his exile from VerserK, he was to return to competing as Eita Kobayashi. Furthermore, he was to shave & cut his hair. He was just a low level rookie again and he should look the part. Kotoka sure did have a crush on him. That’s fine. Kotoka is full of himself all of a sudden. Eita said he will be the one to cut him down to size. Eita sure was jealous. Did he want a fight? Blehhhh! Kotoka sure was an an obnoxious little shit. Eita wasn’t going o say it again. He was going to take him out. Tomorrow, here in Kobe. 1 on 1. The man with all the momentum. The most popular man in DG, Kotoka accepted any challenge. The match was set for tomorrow. As for tonight, it was the old timers and the green boy Yamamura. He was going to et a lesson in the hardships of pro wrestling tonight. Blehhhh!

CIMA scolded Yamamura for losing to Kotoka. To Shingo, that is one thing. Even Problem Dragon has an experience edge. But losing to Kotoka is totally unacceptable. He wasn’t sure if Yamamura had a match tomorrow, but he was confident that he could pull an upset win at any time. He & Gamma were entrusting the future to Yamamura & Ishida. Make them proud.

DoiYAMA came out after the main event. Sure, K-neSuka won. Beating a MONSTER EXPRESS team isn’t that impressive. Since losing Takagi as a member they have no power to speak of. Adding a punk like T-Hawk didn’t improve them one bit. Anyway, congratulations on the win. Hopefully, they enjoy their time fighting above their weight class because that will come to an end tomorrow. He told Kness his cradle wouldn’t work on him tomorrow. Kness replied that the Hikari no Wa wasn’t just a cradle. It was a decisive finisher. Plus, Doi won with a damn cradle today so he really is one to talk. Doi was un-phased. A cradle is a cradle. Kness noted the rolling motion makes it better than a simple flash pin. Whatever! It won’t work tomorrow! Doi praised K-NeSuka for their past accomplishments. They are a great team with a decorated history. But this is now. Doi & YAMATO were the Twin Gate champions. That makes them the best of the best. No one was better than them, and tomorrow the difference in skill would be abundantly clear. The champions departed. Doi told them to give a really good “We are going to try our best tomorrow” speech.
Doi said a lot of things. Most of them wrong, but he did get one thing correct. K-NeSuka was a great team. They closed out the show promising to take down the Twin Gate champions. They’ve been champions but never won the tag league. That changes tomorrow.
